Project description:Bi-directional communication with the microenvironment is essential for homing and survival of cancer cells with implications for disease biology and behaviour. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) the role of the microenvironment on malignant cell behaviour is well described. However, how CLL cells engage and recruit nurturing cells is poorly characterised. Here we demonstrate that CLL cells secrete exosomes that are nanovesicles originating from the fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane, to shuttle proteins, lipids, microRNAs (miR) and mRNAs to recipient cells. We characterise and confirm the size (50 - 100 nm) and identity of the CLL-derived exosomes by Electron microscopy (EM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), flow cytometry and western blotting using both exosomes-specific and CLL-specific markers. Incubation of CLL-exosomes, derived either from cell culture supernatants or from patient plasma, with human stromal cells shows that they are readily taken up into endosomes, and induce expression of genes such as c-fos and ATM as well as enhance proliferation of recipient HS-5 cells. Furthermore, we show that CLL exosomes encapsulate abundant small RNAs and are enriched in certain miRs and specifically hsa-miR-202-3p. We suggest that such specific packaging of miR-202-3p impacts on the expression of 'suppressor of fused' (Sufu), a Hedgehog (Hh) signalling intermediate, in the parental CLL cells. Thus, our data show that CLL cells secrete exosomes that alter the transcriptome and behaviour of recipient cells. Such communication with microenvironment is likely to have an important role in CLL disease biology. miR analysis was carried out on 3 exosomal samples and 3 corresponding cellular samples from CLL patients. Exosomes are a discrete population of small (50-100 nm diameter) EVs of endosomal origin with a lipid membrane bilayer and a cup-shaped morphology. We used common reference design which allows visualization of variations between the samples. Each sample equals one array and each sample compared with common reference (Pool). The pool or common reference was a collection of 23 RNA samples isolated from 23 CLL cases. We hypothesised that CLL derived exosomes should contain unique miRs that are reflective of CLL cell content and additionally relevant for disease biology.

Project description:Backround: Several microRNAs have been characterized to regulate the process of angiogenesis. Previously, bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) was shown to increase the proangiogenic activity of endothelial cells. Aim: In this project we investigated how the proangiogenic BMP4 effect is mediated by microRNAs. Experimental design: To investigate changes in the microRNA transcriptome in HUVECs a time course experiment (12, 18 and 24 h) was performed. HUVECs were kept in endothelial basal medium either with BMP4 (25 ng/ml) stimulation or buffer control (4 mM HCL with 0.1% bovine serum albumin). Comparison between stimulated vs. unstimulated cells at different time points. followed by a miRNA microarray analysis was performed.

Project description:The goal of this study was to investigate the generation and normalization of microRNA expression data based on microarray technologies to comparatively assess their quality. Two profiling platforms were compared: the single-channel Affymetrix GeneChip(r) and the Exiqon dual-channel miRCURY LNA(tm), which was processed as a single-channel array. Due to fundamental differences in the platform constitution, the normalization methods developed for gene expression need to be applied very cautiously to microRNA raw data. This motivated the development of a novel normalization method based on controllable assumptions, which uses the intensities of spike-in control probes. The results showed that the novel normalization method reduced the data variability in the most consistent way and confirmed the reliability of the differentially expressed microRNAs obtained, based on an RT-qPCR experiment performed for a subset of microRNAs. The conclusion was that the Exiqon platform combined with the novel spike-in controls based normalization method provides high-quality microRNA expression data suitable for reliable downstream analysis. This preprocessing pipeline was implemented into an R package called ExiMiR and deposited in the Bioconductor repository. Data generated in a sister experiment on the Affymetrix platform has been submitted to ArrayExpress under accession E-MTAB-875.

Project description:Organotypic culture of human primary bronchial epithelial cells is a useful in vitro system to study normal biological processes and lung disease mechanisms, to develop new therapies, and to assess the biological perturbations induced by environmental pollutants. Herein, we further develop this in vitro model as a standard human airway assay by comparing the biological response observed after cigarette smoke (CS) exposure in vitro and published data from human bronchial epithelium of smokers. To this end, we exposed differentiated normal human bronchial epithelial cells (AIR-100 tissue) to mainstream CS for 7, 14, 21, or 28 min at the air-liquid interface and investigated various biological endpoints (e.g., gene expression and microRNA profiles, MMP-1 release) at multiple post-exposure time points (0.5, 2, 4, 24, 48 hours).
